Around 1864 Maxwell laid the foundation of electromagnetic theory,
which formed the crowning achievement of 19th century physics. Max
Born wondered how Maxwell could introduce the decisive step by
adding the missing term the displacement current without proper
empirical foundation. He argued that it may be that Maxwell was
first guided by mechanical models of the ether, later by reasons of
mathematical perfection or beauty or however one may describe it as
an act of genius. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was
realized that the basic principles of Maxwell need not undergo any
change barring the concept of all-prevailing ether. Otherwise,
fundamental concepts of Maxwell remain the foundation of our
present day concept of electromagnetism. As the range of
Electromagnetic wave extended more and more to shorter wavelengths,
it was realized that the extended regions have very significant
applications for revealing the mysteries of nature. This work
elaborates on the basic concepts of electromagnetic theory, and
covers its extended regions discovered after World War II.
